1 Dollar - Roy I Obverse Trial

Sealand — the former Royal Navy sea fort HM Fort Roughs, seized by Paddy Roy Bates in 1967 and unilaterally declared a sovereign principality — has issued various numismatic pieces over the decades, though their legal and collecting status remains genuinely contested. This piece is catalogued as a trial strike, meaning it was produced to test die alignment, metal flow, or approval before committing to a full issue run. Trial pieces from micronations are particularly difficult to authenticate and attribute, as production oversight was minimal and documentation sparse.
